Docket No. 50-206 DEC 5 - 1983 Southern California Edison Company ATTN: Mr. R. Dietch,lVice President Nuclear Engineering and Operations 2244 Walnut Grove Avenue Post Office Box 800 Rosemead, California 91770 Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

10 CFR 170 FEES FOR FIRE PROTECTION REVIEWS AND APPROVALS FOR SAN ONOFRE GENERATING STATION UNIT NO. 1 The purpose of this letter is to address the fee requirements of 10 CFR 170 as they relate to actions pertaining to the fire protection requirements of 10 CFR 50. On February 17, 1981, 10 CFR 50.48 and Appendix R, which added fire protection requirements for operating nuclear power plants, became effective. Prior to that date, fees were exempted for the review and approv al of fire protection actions based on Branch Technical Position BTP APCSB 9.5-1 and its Appendix A. Since the February 1981 amendment of 10 CFR 50, there have been a number oferequests filed by licensees for their plants.

These requests consist of exemptions from schedular and other requirements, and other reviews (e.g., alternate safe shutdown capability).

It is current NRC policy to exempt from fees all of the fire protection ex emptions granted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12 by the staff of the Division of Licensing (DL) unless a license amendment or other approval is also required.

On this basis, fees have not been requested for any of these types of exemp tions. Fees will be charged for all other approvals and denials relating to fire protection. This means that the review and approval of the alternate safe shutdown capability and any reviews which result in a denial of a re quest for your facility are subject to fees pursuant to 10 CFR 170.22. A DL letter dated November 24, 1980, informed all reactor licensees with plants licensed prior to January 1, 1979, that fees were required for re quests for Commission action resulting from the fire protection rule.

Based on a review of the fire protection requests filed by your Company for the subject facility, we find that a total of $4,000 is required. The en closed list reflects each request, any fees paid, fees due, and the DL staff's OFIFCE)O.

-2 DEC 5-1983 fee determination and action on each. It is requested that your Company remit

$4,000 to our office for fees currently due on your fire protection requests.

Fees for any future approvals by the DL staff on pending applications currently on file and any subsequent requests by your Company under the current 10 CFR 170 will be in accordance with the position set forth in this letter. For those portions of all applications on the enclosed list which were approved pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, we have concluded that an exemption, pursuant to 10 CFR 170.11(b),

from the fee requirements is authorized by law and such exemption is otherwise in the public interest and is hereby granted for them.

If for some reason our list does not include all fire protection requests that your Company has on file with the DL staff, we will address the excluded ones in a later letter if fees are required, If they are.approved totally pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, they will be exempted from fees, but an additional letter will not be sent to you unless required otherwise (e.g., fees paid and refund has to be made).

Sincerely, Original Signed by?
